Editor's Notes

January 06, 2019:

This category is fairly new, and many options only perform simple animations once the app is used. There is a clear winner at the top of the category because it has more than just novelty value, but if you're simply looking for a fun gift, consider the appearance of each item of clothing on its own, as the person will hopefully still wear it after they've experienced the cool AR aspects of it.
